The late rock icon’s will, which was filed in court on Friday in Manhattan, allegedly revealed that Bowie has left nearly half of his $100 million estate to his wife Iman, along with the couple’s home on Lafayette Street in Manhattan, according to the New York Post’s Page Six, who obtained the documents.
Their daughter, Alexandria, gets his Ulster County home in upstate New York, and will split the remaining of Bowie’s fortune with his son from a previous relationship, Duncan Jones.
According to the report, Bowie also gave $2 million to his friend and personal assistant, Corinne Coco Schwab, and $1 million to his son’s former nanny, Marion Skene.
Additionally, the will allegedly states that the late musician’s dying wish was to have his ashes scattered on the island nation of Bali in accordance with Buddhist rituals.
Bowie passed away earlier this month, just two days after his 69th birthday. The legendary singer’s Facebook page posted the tragic news writing, ” David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer.”
The statement continued, “While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief.”
Posting a sweet black and white throwback photo of himself with his father on Twitter following the tragic announcement, Bowie’s son wrote, “Very sorry and sad to say it’s true. I’ll be offline for a while. Love to all.”
